I am praying for your mom, dad and you. ...Hi Jodi, <br />I am praying for your mom, dad and you. I know what you are going through, unfortunately. I have great memories of your mom at the Foothill football games...she'd always give a big whoot, whoot and loved cheering on the boys of fall. <br />I know my mom was so happy that they had stayed in touch over the years. Not only did they share a special bond with husbands that coached football, but they shared a lot over ovarian cancer too. <br />Give your mom a big hug from the Salerno family. Love to you and your Dad during this difficult time. <br /><br />Christina Salerno Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8016574498149978608.post-64864596777136608332013-04-18T08:12:43.598-07:002013-04-18T08:12:43.598-07:00Dear Jodi, Please know that you and Doug, your mo...Dear Jodi, Please know that you and Doug, your mom and dad are on my heart and in my prayers during this time.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03506449021149573589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8016574498149978608.post-21456111576407969312013-04-17T10:03:11.912-07:002013-04-17T10:03:11.912-07:00Oh, Jodi, I'm so thankful that you are with yo...Oh, Jodi, I'm so thankful that you are with your Mom and Dad during this time of transition and change. I know that you are such a source of love and comfort for them.<br />I can barely write as my eyes are clouded with tears. (They are for me, of course.) Your Mom has fought a good fight, and God has blessed her efforts. I'm now thinking about her next journey, the ultimate adventure, and the spectacular reunions which await her. Can you imagine? She will be at home with her Lord and with all who have gone before her. Out in front of those running to welcome her will be Bill and her Mom! I hope it will also include my Damon.<br />My prayers are with you all as you rest in the Lord and with each other. Please <br />give your Mom all my love and appreciation for the friendship she so lovingly extended to me for so many years.<br />I want to share this quote with you. It's written by William Penn (1644-1718)<br /> "We give back to you, O God, those whom you gave to us. You did not lose them when you gave them to us, and we do not lose them by their return to you"<br />Carolnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8016574498149978608.post-67539490666457275612013-04-17T06:31:04.643-07:002013-04-17T06:31:04.643-07:00Jodi,

Please know that Julie and I count ourselves in that number and will be praying earnestly for peace and comfort for you all in the coming days.

There are so many she loves on the other side already, women of great faith from when we knew one another years ago... Jinx Robbins, Joan Nelson, my own mom... And while saying goodbye is so painful now we look forward to that great reunion day ahead. <br />Praying for your family. May you feel the comfort of the Holy Spirit in a very tangible way today and in the days ahead.Sharyn Sowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09916723626684709031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8016574498149978608.post-22654965915529071432013-04-14T07:27:21.243-07:002013-04-14T07:27:21.243-07:00Praying for profound peace for every step on this ...Praying for profound peace for every step on this journey for you all!
